PM Modi releases special ₹100 coin, postage stamp on RSS centenary

Prime Minister Narendra Modi released a special postage stamp and a ₹100 commemorative coin on October 1, 2025, celebrating the centenary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

All about the event

This event took place at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi, attended by RSS leaders, government officials, and cultural dignitaries.

PM Modi said the specially designed coin and stamp showcase the contribution of the RSS to the nation.

"... This Rs 100 coin has the national emblem on one side, and on the other side, there is an image of Bharat Mata, seated on a lion in 'varad mudra', and swayamsevaks bowing down before her with dedication. This is the first time in the history of independent India that an image of Bharat Mata has been shown on our currency…,” said PM Modi.

The PM also recollected that in 1963, RSS proudly participated in the Republic Day Parade. “This postal stamp has an image of that historic moment,” he said.

The Prime Minister added that the RSS believes in 'One India, Great India' yet post-Independence attempts were made to prevent it from joining the national mainstream "Unity in diversity has always been the soul of India, if this principle is broken then India will weaken. Despite challenges, the RSS stands strong and is tirelessly serving the nation.”
